Ok, so here is hopefullt the last patch, it automatically disables MUX
mode on your Vaio since it is broken (you still need the previous patch
that changes atkbd since - there are 2 diffrent issues). I'd appreciate
if you could test it - if it works then you should see mention of only 2
serio ports in your dmesg and not 5.

Thanks!

Input: i8042 - add Sony Vaio VGN-FZ240E to the nomux list

From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

On this model, when KBD is in active multiplexing mode, acknowledgements
to reset and get ID commands issued on KBD port sometimes are delivered
to AUX3 port (touchpad) which messes up device detection. Legacy KBC
mode works fine and since there are no external PS/2 ports on this laptop
and no support for docking station we can safely disable active MUX mode.
